Echoes of You

I walked where the river forgets how to flow

Where silence is heavy and stars barely glow

The wind said your name like a secret I knew

But the echo that followed was never quite you

I reach through the dusk like you’re still in the dark

But you’re just a whisper lost under my heart

You’re the voice in a dream I can’t seem to unhear

The shadow I chase when I think you are near

You’re the ache in a song that I barely get through

No matter how far I run, I run into you

I stood on the edge of a sky painted red

The sun disappeared like the words that you said

You burned like a comet that vanished too soon

Now I live in the ashes beneath your old moon

And I scream in the night, but the stars never break

They just shine like the promises we couldn’t make

You’re the voice in a dream I can’t seem to unhear

The shadow I chase when I think you are near

You’re the ache in a song that I barely get through

No matter how far I run, I run into you

Was I just a chapter you tore from the page?

While I still wear your name like a vow that won’t fade

I tried to forget, I tried to be new

But even in silence… I’m haunted by you

You’re the voice in a dream I can’t seem to unhear

The shadow I chase when I think you are near

You’re the ache in a song that I never outgrew

No matter how far I run… I run into you

…I run into you.
